Austen’s novel Pride And Prejudice revolved around the theme of marriage and addresses many key issues in society during the 19th century (Lane 2015). Charlotte was one of the characters that decided to marry for security and not for love. Lydia was a young immature girl that wasn’t wise enough to realize that she was fooled around on by a man who was in love with money and girls. Jane was a mature woman that married for love and happiness, and Elizabeth wanted to make her own decisions about what is best for her. She also wouldn’t get married if it wasn’t for love.
